Miscellaneous: Today, I went over to my neighbours' to politely complain about...

Today, I went over to my neighbours' to politely complain about their dog, which had been barking non-stop for hours. This issue has been going on for months, and I finally decided today, of all days, was the day to resolve it. When I got there, they'd just got home from giving birth at the hospital. FML

Today, most of my neighbours came to my house in an angry mob to complain about my dog barking. I don't have a dog. FML

Today, I got several noise complaints from various neighbours about my "dog that won't stop barking". I don't own a dog, my neighbour owns the noisy dog. She sent me a complaint as well. FML

Today, I’ve been at my new house for a week. My new neighbour’s dog barks non-stop all day, and their newborn baby cries non-stop all night. FML

Yappy neighborhood

Today, I don't think my neighbours realize that, by getting that dog they have been wanting, they ruined the peace and quiet of the entire neighbourhood, consisting of ten houses. I'm the person underneath whose window that dog barks every day - mostly when I'm either trying to fall asleep or wanting to sleep in. FML

Today, I was screaming at my neighbor to shut his dog up. After 30 minutes of bellowing, he yelled back that it was my dog that was barking. He was right. FML

Today, I went to let my dog inside because she was barking. I saw my neighbour standing at my fence, screaming that she was going to kill my dog with a shovel for barking at her. My dog was only doing it because my neighbor was putting her trash in my garbage bin. This isn't a new thing. FML

Today, I had finally gotten my dogs to quiet down and my baby to fall asleep. Not thirty seconds later, my neighbor's car alarm went off. They aren't home for the weekend, and the damn alarm has now been blaring for three hours. FML

Today, I finally decided to go talk to my upstairs neighbour about the loud banging noises he makes every single morning around 8 a.m. It worked. Now he starts at 7 a.m. FML

Today, I went to check if my neighbours were home to return their dog, having looked after her for a few days. I looked in the window and the place was empty. They'd moved house and stuck us with their dog. FML

It's not like they can blame you for being annoyed. You should tell them anyways. Especially if its been going on for months.

Now you'll have to listen to the dog plus a crying baby.

Only one of them gave birth, the other was just a spectator. And the one that did give birth wasn't in labor for months and should have shut the ******* dog up! Farfel!!!

A spectator that had to endure helping a screaming and frantic woman through 22 or more hours of labour. Both woman and spectator will be too exhausted to care about a barking dog or their neighbours complaints. Just sayin.

Barking dog + crying infant = the perfect setup to drive someone totally insane! I'd move ASAP...

If you don't see this dog and baby in perfect harmony speak now or forever hold your peace.

As long as you remained polite, and when you found out they had just returned from the birth you apologised for the poor timing everything will be ok.

I wouldn't have been polite if it was going on for months.

Well problem solved then! Kind of. They won't want the dog barking all the time disturbing the baby. Now it's just the baby's crying that will bother you and that is a much more annoying noise in my opinion.

unless they leave the baby chained to the tree to cry, I don't see it being a big problem.

This is going to get SOOOO many thumbs down but I honestly don't care : whats really the FML in this? Like its not like you knew they had a baby? And if I had a baby and my neighbor came to complain to me I wouldn't feel bad???
